The Miracle Child

04

"One minute I'm crying at our parents graves, and the next I'm waking up on the side of the road with Damon waking me up. A week later, I started having morning sicknesses and I was dizzy most of the time. Remember?" I asked looking at a Elena who nodded. "The sickness kept getting worse and so was the dizziness. So Jenna took me to a doctor, they ran some tests on me and another week later when the test results came I was found pregnant."

"How did you feel?" Elena asked, I could see worry in her eyes. She must be blaming herself for not noticing earlier.

"I was scared, the news shocked me. It still is shocking up until now and I still don't believe how I ended up being pregnant." I wiped the tears I did not notice were falling. Caroline gave me a glass of water and I took a sip before continuing. "You must be thinking I'm crazy."

They all shook their heads, Bonnie rubbed my back in comfort. "Trust us we understand, and we don't think you are crazy." she said wiping a tear down her face with a chuckle. Making me chuckle in the process. Both the other two girls nodded in agreement.

"Even if I tell you I am a virgin who's pregnant, or thought I was a virgin?" I asked, for a moment they looked at each other confused. "See, I told you, you'd think I'm crazy." I couldn't control my tears anymore, it broke my heart to what has happened to me. Never in a million years or ever has it happened.

Elena hugged me tighter, seeing me break down in tears broke her. The two girls joined in on the hug, it gave me comfort, to know that they didn't make fun of me but understood my pain. I was scared that if they found out they would think I have gone mad, but their reaction is soothing and comforting, giving me courage to go on with the pregnancy not that I even thought of getting rid of it. NEVER!!

"I just wish I was there since day one, you needed me and I wasn't there. Will you forgive me?"

"Come on Elena, there's nothing to forgive. You didn't do anything wrong." I tell her and she nods wiping her tears.

"Can we see!!!" Caroline asked in a cheery voice, she was trying to change the intense atmosphere in the room. The girls practically jumped up and down begging me to show them my belly.

"Alright" I lifted my shirt and they all gasped.

"It's showing"

"Yep, but you couldn't see it with my baggy clothes." I said and they laughed. They began playing with my belly. For a moment, the baby kicked. Their eyes widened in shock but they smiled and talked to him/her. Bonnie and Elena wished for it to be a boy while Caroline wished for a girl.

We got dressed in our Pj's and were laying down on the bed we made on the floor. I couldn't resist but ask. "How did you and Caroline know?" I asked them, while we all faced the ceiling. A moment of silence covered the living room before Elena cleared her throat and they all sat making me sit in the process. "Is it that serious?" I asked.

"Should we tell her?" Caroline asked and Elena and Bonnie both nodded.

"Riley it's a long story and we think you deserve to know. We think that your pregnancy and the loss of a month memory has everything to do with what we are about to tell you." She said, her expression gave me a feeling that I won't like what they will tell me.

"A few weeks before my grandmother died, I found out I was a witch. It's in our blood, we can do spells and we have magic, being a witch comes with a lot of things, things that shouldn't exist or be, things that should remain legends." she tried to explain but I didn't understand any of that. How can Bonnie be a witch, like in Harry Potter and fly on brooms?

"What legends are you talking?" I asked, I didn't want to ask a lot of questions even though my mind is booming with them.

"She's talking about vampires and werewolves" Caroline added. Am I hearing this right? "There are many like Bonnie, and there are many like vampires and werewolves."

I didn't know what to say, do I even believe this? No, I don't believe. "Wow" is all I could say. What would you say?

"Vampires have this ability called compulsion, they can make you do things that you don't want or make you forget things. Now that's where your momery loss comes in." Elena explained. I'm shocked that my sister knows things like this. But maybe Bonnie told her because she's one of them.

"What doesn't add up is, why would a vampire compel you to forget how you got pregnant? Because they can't procreate.." Caroline added.

"Which beggs the million dollar question. Who got you pregnant and why?" Bonnie gave her thought as well. These girls seem to be well informed on the supernatural.

"Only one thing comes to my mind, maybe a human raped me and asked his vampire friend to make me forget. But for a whole month?"

"It doesn't make sense at all, maybe we should tell Damon and Stefan and they might have an idea." Elena suggested. But why am I shocked the Salvatores know?

"They know about vampires too?" I asked

Caroline laughed "They are vampires sweetheart." At that my eyes almost popped out of their place.

"Who else is supernatural?" I asked, because it seems people are not as ordinary as they seem.

"Pretty much everyone we know. Even Elena is something. I'm a vampire." To prove her point she sped to the kitchen and came back with a bag of potato chips. I feel dizzy, the information is too much. "Elena is a doppelganger and a vampire."

They told me everything, that has been going on. EVERYTHING!!!
